Getting Back to It:

"Welcome Back" Week in the Works!

We hope you are enjoying the sunshine and warm weather we are having. It’s definitely starting to feel like summer! We are in the midst of planning for fall programs, and we are counting down the days ‘til we can see you all again.

 

But that’s not all we’re up to…!

 

In light of the announcement made on Alberta’s 3-stage reopening plan, and if the public health situation continues to improve in the next few months, we are currently working on plans to run a few courses and clubs as a “Welcome Back” session in mid-to-late August. It’ll be a chance to ease back into our routines and give ourselves a few days to get limber and warmed up before we get back into the full swing of things this fall. We’ll keep you updated on our plans, and please keep an eye out for more information in our emails or here on our homepage when we get closer to August.

 

Rest assured, as restrictions are eased, we will continue to monitor and follow the most up-to-date recommendations made by AHS and the City of Edmonton to ensure the health and safety of our members, instructors, volunteers, and staff.

 

Until then, stay safe, enjoy the sun, and we look forward to seeing you soon!

CLSA Delayed Opening Decision

 

Due to the COVID-19 restrictions still being in place, the CLSA Board has decided not to go forward with Spring Programming in June.

 

All programming will be postponed until Fall 2021, with circles starting September 7 and classes on September 13. Unless the COVID situation in Alberta drastically improves before then, CLSA will not be resuming activities until it is safe to do so.

 

We know this is disappointing to many members, and we continue to be hopeful that most of the population will be vaccinated at that time, putting us all in a safer position to be together again.

 

We are grateful for your continued support to the Association and understanding during this time of great uncertainty and change. Sunny skies are ahead: making safe choices will get us there.

 

Membership and registration information will be available soon. Please check our website, watch your email, or call us 780–496–7369 to learn of any updates. Our staff continues to work remotely, but please call us if you have any questions or email us at info@CentralLions.org.

2021 Membership Rollovers and Pricing

​​

All valid 2020 memberships purchased from January to March last year have been automatically rolled over into 2021 memberships. Memberships and Reciprocal Memberships that were purchased from September to December will be credited to your account. Accepted rollovers will assume consent to the CLSA code of conduct and liability waiver.

 

New 2021 55+ memberships will be available for a pro-rated annual fee of $25, Under 55 memberships will be available at a pro-rated fee of $50, and Community Memberships (Reciprocal Memberships) will remain $5. *Membership sales on hold until further notice.

 

CLSA requests that members sign in to their online membership accounts prior to the spring session to confirm and update account information, including emergency contacts. If you purchased a Membership in 2020 your account has already been created for you.

​

An Important Note on Club Fees

​

Credits for club fees from 2020 have been issued to your “Wallet,” which can be found in your account on our online registration system. These credits will remain on your account until you decide to use them for next year’s membership or activity fees. If you would like a refund instead of a credit, please email refunds@CentralLions.org.
